Statistics

About this course

Statistics is the science of learning from data, and in a world that generates information at unprecedented scale, its importance has never been greater. Statisticians design the studies that generate reliable knowledge, develop the methods that extract meaning from complex datasets, and provide the quantitative foundations on which decisions in medicine, public policy, finance, engineering, and countless other fields are made. The discipline is demanding, mathematically rigorous, and extraordinarily versatile. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time programme gives you a thorough grounding in statistical theory and methodology, developing your ability to model uncertainty, analyse data, and draw valid inferences from evidence. Glasgow's degree programmes are notably flexible, with the option to pursue combined Honours with a wide range of subjects from across the univers
